Summary of non-parametric test.

In the process of urban–rural integration, rural depression poses a severe challenge to urban-rural coordination and regional sustainable development. Exploring development pathways for resource-dependent rural areas is an important measure to implement rural revitalization. Mining industry, shows beneficial in boosting the economies whiles brings ecological, physical/psychological and social problems to local community members. Therefore, efforts should be made to rural sustainable development in mining resource- dependent regions. Taking the traditional mining-industry Shanxi Province in North China as research case, this paper seeks to investigate the crucial factors influencing rural transformation development (RTD) of mining regions and explore development pathways for resource-dependent rural areas. First, rural economic-labor coupling mode and rural development type of 30 mining industries-based counties were determined based on the proposed rural economic-labor elasticity coefficient, followed by the hot spot analysis for understanding the spatial correlation of different coupling modes. Then, non-parametric test was applied for feature difference test. Finally, mining rural areas transformation pathways were given by using land use transfer matrix and chord diagram. Results indicated that the mean value and rank mean value of each indicator of different rural development types were basically consistent in the distribution form, while coupling modes showed a distinct difference. This research can provide important references for rural transformation promotion, rural revitalization and sustainable rural development of resource-dependent regions, especially for developing countries.在城乡融合发展进程中，乡村衰退对城乡协调发展与区域可持续发展构成严峻挑战。探索资源依赖型乡村的发展路径，是落实乡村振兴战略的重要举措。矿业在提振地方经济的同时，也会给当地社区居民带来生态、生理/心理以及社会层面的诸多问题。因此，应致力于矿业资源依赖型地区的乡村可持续发展。本研究以中国北方传统矿业大省山西省为研究案例，旨在探究矿业地区乡村转型发展（rural transformation development, RTD）的关键影响因素，并探索资源依赖型乡村的发展路径。首先，基于提出的乡村经济-劳动力弹性系数，确定了30个矿业县的乡村经济-劳动力耦合模式与乡村发展类型，随后通过热点分析探究不同耦合模式的空间相关性；继而采用非参数检验开展特征差异分析；最后，借助土地利用转移矩阵与弦图，明确了矿业型乡村的转型发展路径。研究结果表明，不同乡村发展类型的各项指标均值与秩均值的分布形态基本一致，而耦合模式则存在显著差异。本研究可为资源依赖型地区的乡村转型推进、乡村振兴与乡村可持续发展提供重要参考，尤其对发展中国家具有借鉴意义。
